Mission Statement

"The mission of the Epilepsy Society of Northwest Florida is to advocate for persons with seizure disorders, their families, friends, and caregivers. We will inspire respect within our community by breaking down barriers and myths about seizures through comprehensiveoutreach and education programs. We will work to reduce the incidence of traumatic brain injury through extensive prevention programs."

Description

The goal of the Epilepsy Society of NW Florida is to raise awareness and to stop discrimination against people with epilepsy. The Epilepsy Society was founded in 1973 by a group of volunteers interested in helping persons with epilepsy through diagnosis, treatment, education and social services, so that they may achieve their full potential. We strive to provide information and support to those caring for loved ones with epilepsy. When a person has epilepsy, the whole family experiences it.
